FOOD: GINGERLINE JUBILEE

This secret ticketed supperclub is the talk of the town right now. Offering a four-course feast and plenty of revelry, guests sit in transit somewhere along the London rail network.

You're sworn to secrecy before going underground, so be warned - only adventure-loving foodies need apply.

Ramusake, a new members restaurant that pairs Japanese cuisine with a party vibe, has landed on Old Brompton Road and is set to take South Ken by storm.

Scott Hallsworth, the ex-head chef of Nobu and chef-owner of Kurobuta is venturing into the world of late-night venues. Partnering up with nightclub supremo Piers Adam and David Phelps of Royal’s favourite Mahiki Mayfair and Bodo’s Schloss, Ramusake is a unique dining experience not to be missed.

The hotly anticipated biopic The Imitation Game, based on the life of the groundbreaking research of Alan Turing opens with a gala screening this weekend.

Turing became famous for his codebreaking during WW2 as much as for his trial for gross indecency in the aftermath of the war, and his royal posthumous pardon.

The film will open the BFI Film Festival this weekend before the film hits cinemas in November, so get in quick.
